GALLERY NOTES
Vol. 35, No. 1 September 1969
Plain Talk
This fall the volunteer solicitors for our annual membership campaign are setting out to raise $289,000 in membership contributions.
This is the amount the Gallery must realize from its friends in the community--both private individuals and corporations--in order to carry on a full-scale program of educational and cultural activities for the coming year. The enclosed summary of events of the 1968-69 season will give you some idea of the extent and diversity of these programs and the number of people that benefit from them.
The $289,000 goal represents a lot of money. Much more than ever before. (The report will tell you what's behind that too.) But the Gallery has great confidence in the enthusiasm and energy of its campaigners and in the responsiveness of its present and potential members.
Obviously, the campaigners are going to need all the help they can get. You can help by being ready to increase your pledge in any amount you can. Or, if you've already renewed, by making an additional contribution. The other helpful thing you can do of course is to talk up membership among your non-member friends. We'll be very happy to sign them up either by telephone (275-4761) or in person any time.
We wish the campaigners every success and thank you all in advance.

Black Art Show
"Contemporary Black Artists," made up of some 50 paintings, graphics, sculptures, light-art works, and collages, will be our major show for late summer, running from a Members' Preview on August 22 through October 5.
The first exhbition of works by living black Americans to tour museums in major cities, the show was organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in cooperation with Ruder & Finn Incorporated of New York.
The 34 artists included, according to Roger Mandle of the Minneapolis Institute, "from divergent backgrounds, with varying talent and opportunity, have developed their own
styles, reflecting not so much their ethnic background, but thier personal direction as artists." Some of them, such as Romare Bearden, Richard Hunt, and Sam Gilliam, have long-established reputations. But the majority are still relatively unknown, although most are experienced artists, together presenting an impressive record of art training, fellowships, awards, and representation in museum and private collections.
